The following attacks are best suited for Raging Boult if you plan on competing with it in the upcoming phase of competitive battles in Generation IX:

• Thunderbolt
• Thunderclap
• Dragon Pulse
• Protect

These attacks make use of Raging Boult's fantastic Special Attack stat. Thunderclap is the critter's signature move. It is a 70 base power attack that only hits the target if it has selected a damaging move. Like Sucker Punch, this move always goes first if the above condition is fulfilled.

Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse aren't the hardest-hitting moves of their respective types. However, they deliver the kind of stability that most players would want in a high-stakes situation.

Best Held Item for Raging Bolt in The Indigo Disk of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Choice Specs (Image via TPC)

The best Held Item option for Ragin Bolt is a Life Orb or a Choice Specs, with both improving Raging Bolt's offensive pressure. While the former deals 30% extra damage for 10% of the user's total health. Choice Specs, on the other hand, boosts damage by 50% but locks the user into one move until they switch out.

Best Tera type for Raging Bolt in The Indigo Disk of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Since most of Raging Bolt's attacks are Electric-type, one of the best elemental types in the game, it is recommended that you should Terastallize the critter into an Electric-type. A crucial aspect here is that only one type deals super-effective damage against Electric-type Pocket Monsters.

This would give Thunderbolt and Thunderclap authentic names since they are already boosted by STAB.
